with a short obtuse tail, black, with bright purple reflections, 

 marked beyond the middle with three somewhat cuneiform ro- 

 seate spots, one in face of the cell, two between the median ner- 

 vules, between these and the margin four sub-lunulate spots; 

 anal angle with a spot of a more rufous hue, above which are 

 three small groups of rosy atoms. Below, browner than above, the 

 posterior wings with a series of rufous lunules beyond the middle, 

 all resting on a black cloud, the one on the costa white externally, 

 the next very faint ; a second series between these and the outer 

 margin all edged with white, the white spots on the edge larger 

 than above. 



Head and thorax black, spotted with red. 



Abdomen black, with a red spot at the base.

Hah. Bolivia (Mr. Bridges). 



Above, anterior fuscous black, inclining to brown, the cilia 

 spotted with white ; posterior wings dentate, subcaudate, darker 

 than the anterior, marked with two large red spots between the 

 median nervules, preceded and followed by a smaller one ; margin 

 itself and cilia between the nervules white. 



Below, paler than above ; the anterior wings with a large white 

 spot, divided by the median nervure and its nervules ; posterior 

 wings with two rather large pinkish white spots between the me- 

 dian nervules, preceded by a series of four red smaller ones, sur- 

 mounted each by a faint red cloud and followed by two round 

 spots on the abdominal margin ; margin and cilia as above. 



Head black, with two white lines in front and two white spots 

 on the vertex. 



Thorax black, with four red spots above and six below. 



Abdomen brownish, with a red spot on each side at the base. 



In the collection of the British Museum. 



Allied to P. Anchisiades, but the anterior wings are entirely of 

 a black brown above, and below have the white spot placed much 

 nearer the middle of the wing. The posterior wings have far 

 less red than those of P. Anchisiades and Idceus, which they 

 somewhat resemble, especially below ; they are moreover much 

 more acutely dentate.
